Materials Sciences

Materials management deals with the research, development, manufacturing and processing of raw and industrial materials. Key aspects here are biological and medical issues, which play an increasingly important role in this field.

innovations-report offers in-depth articles related to the development and application of materials and the structure and properties of new materials.

The world’s first non-electric touchpad

…takes sensor technology to extreme conditions. Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world’s first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity.  The…

Novel 2D electro-polaritonic platform for future miniaturized spectrometers

Polaritons are coupled excitations of electromagnetic waves with either charged particles or vibrations in the atomic lattice of a given material. They are widely used in nanophotonics because of their…

Viscous electronics: Fluid-like electrons are unlocking new tech possibilities

Quantum materials are changing the way we think about the behaviour of electrons and opening the way to powerful new technologies. In high school science class, we learned that plugging…

Innovative pilot line for the vacuum coating

… and thermal post-treatment of flexible ultra-thin glass. Ultra-thin glass offers great potential for modern high-tech applications. Despite its superior properties compared to polymer films, the material has not yet…

Mechanism of cobalt-manganese catalysts deciphered

Conventional catalysts for hydrogen production via water electrolysis usually contain precious metals and are expensive. However, cheaper alternatives have been developed, for example cobalt-manganese catalysts. They have a high activity…

Green aerospace with 3D printing

The European Commission’s targets are ambitious: the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation stipulates a 60 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions from aviation by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. A comprehensive EU Space…
